The Topic Streams

OGDCamp Planning

OKfestival 2012 is made up of 13 diverse Topic Streams, each planned by international teams of Guest Programme Planners working from around the globe. To view the entire week at-a-glance, go here, and to learn more about other elements of the programme, including satellite events, guest speakers and evening events, go here.

The Guest Programming Team for each of the 13 Topic Streams has been given their own public page to update festival participants. On these pages, you will find summaries, photos of invited speakers, details about programming throughout the OKFestival week, Guest Programme testimonials, contact emails for questions, and other information. Because these pages are ‘living’ documents augmented by teams of planners from around the world, it is advised to check back often to find the most recent updates about the Topic Streams you are interested in.
